The Ford Contour, sold from 1995 to 2000, was the North American version of Ford's global Mondeo platform. It replaced the aging Tempo and was praised for its sophisticated chassis and European driving dynamics, a notable departure for a mainstream American sedan of its era.
Collector interest is almost exclusively focused on the SVT Contour. Produced by Ford's Special Vehicle Team from 1998 to 2000, the SVT featured a high-output 2.5L Duratec V6 with up to 200 horsepower, a tuned suspension, and unique bodywork. It was a genuine sport sedan that's now quite rare, especially in well-preserved, original condition.
The market for the Contour is small but dedicated. The average sale price of $8,163 is heavily skewed by pristine, low-mileage SVT models, which can command prices up to $25,500. Standard GL, LX, and SE models are typically valued as used cars and trade for much less.
Buying Tips
- For SVT models, verify authenticity via the VIN and confirm the presence of specific equipment like the high-output V6 and unique interior trim.
- Check rocker panels, rear wheel wells, and front and rear subframes for rust, as these are common problem areas.
- On the 2.5L V6, look for oil leaks from the valve cover and oil pan gaskets, and listen for timing chain rattle on cold starts.
- Test all interior electronics; failing power window regulators and erratic instrument cluster gauges are known issues.
- Be aware that SVT-specific body panels, trim, and some mechanical parts are increasingly difficult to source.
Prices range from $1,250 for base models to $25,500 for exceptional SVT variants.
